You're either in, or you're out...and who wants to be on the outside looking in? For many people, the words "welcome to the club" are music to their ears and the fear of being blackballed looms large, because, as the advertaisement famously states, membership has its priviledges. It's a basic human evolutionary need to feel that one belongs, and being excluded or feeling FOMO is far from fun. In this episode of The Awkward Episode Podcast, amateur social anthropologist of old money Kiki Astor dives deep into the world of private clubs, exploring the allure and exclusivity that make them so intriguing.

Whether you're curious about the benefits, the cost, or the true value of membership, we discuss it all—from the history and evolution of private clubs to their modern-day influence on social status and power. We'll also be talking club etiquette. Join us as we break down what’s behind closed doors and why private clubs continue to capture the attention of the wealthy, powerful, and influential.

Sometimes it's not the clothes that make the man. It's not which model of Barbour jacket you have chosen, or where you get your tweed suit.

Obviously, much of this come through in polite cocktail party conversation. But how can you let people know immediately who you are? By the books in your library, on your coffee table, and yes, even in your bathroom.
